Is This The Inspiration For IRON MAN's Mark VII Armor In THE AVENGERS?

The first part is a recap of Iron Man and Iron Man II. The date between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts starts at the 04:38 mark. Head's up credit goes to our @Marvel_Freshman better known as DCMarvelFreshman around these parts.



If you remember from earlier set photos, Colantotte was seen on a building facade here:

In addition to being in the film, the actual Colantotte website revealed new info a while back on all The Avengers. Now, it appears the company will have even more significance to The Avengers as this promotional motion-comic suggests that a Colantotte bracelet was the inspiration for the Mark VII armor.

Ok so those are DEFINITELY the bracelets he's wearing in his encounter with Loki... What does this mean!?!?

NewSuperAvengerCBM - 4/11/2012, 9:23 AM
So he's gonna use the bracelet in The Avengers, where Loki will throw Stark out of the window and he's gonna use that to get the Mark VII suit, when he's falling? Better plan that getting his helmet thrown out of the plane and try to catching it.

This explains the bracelets.

Hmmmm. So could Mark VII be the first step toward the extremis and Bleeding Edge Armors. From what I can understand the Bracelets create a magnetic field around the human body. So This implies that Tony's next innovation is a suit that will attach itself to him without the need for the assembly robots things. Hmm, That would explain why tony was putting on those bracelets during the headcount clip, And how he would survive being thrown out of tall [frick]ing building. Would be extremely interesting to see on screen how it works.

This might be a wild guess but I've seen ina few comics that Stark is able to call the Iron Man TO him. Perhaps him putting on the braclets in the scene with Loki is him about to call the suit to him?

They're the same as that Power Balance shit?

They admitted that's fake science themselves, Barrichello used to wear that shit, hahaha

LOL Power Balance is so fake that even in this commercial they say Barrichello was 2 times world champion, FAAAAIL!

@imnotahero: Yeah the whole thing is pretty shameless. Is that Bill Gates as Ironman? lol

I think this would be a much better marketing strategy:

What if Tony's Acura is the Hulkbuster armour?
It would be exactly like the briefcase armour, except its a car and not a briefcase.

There's a photo of the colantotte wristband fusing with Tony Stark's arm!
This could be the bridge armor to the Extrimis!

All the Armor looks the same to me except the first & suitcase version. I was hoping to see the changes go through all the stages like in the CBs.

That would make sense for this picture to show Ironman in the MARK VII suite in front of the Chrysler Building which is the same scene when Loki throws Stark out the window after Stark puts on the bracelets:



The bracelets are Tony's life savers

So Tony is thrown out of window. Bracelets come on and he's iron man again.

@imnotahero: It's a movie! It's science FICTION. Does it really offend you so much that they're using a pseudo since idea for Tony's next inspiration? What 'real' science was the inspiration for the arc reactor and his repulser tech?
Bread
Bread - 4/11/2012, 11:35 PM
I hope they don't just have him put on the bracelets and the suit comes out of them because I think that would be pretty cheesy, I mean the suitcase thing was cool in IM2 but to have an entire iron man suit come out of those two thin little bracelets would make no sense
